Automobile interior part with reduced squeaking noises
An automobile interior part made of a thermoplastic resin composition [D] prepared by incorporating 0.1 to 8 parts by mass of a silicone oil [B] having a kinematic viscosity at 25° C. of 10 to 100,000 cSt into 100 parts by mass of a rubber-reinforced vinyl resin [A], wherein [A] contains a diene rubber polymer [a1] and an ethylene-α-olefin rubber polymer [a2 ], the total amount of [a1 ] and [a2 ] is 5 to 30% by mass, and the mass ratio of [a1] to [a2], [a1]: [a2], is 10 to 85 : 90 to 15. The automobile interior part shows remarkably reduced generation of squeaking noises when members rub against each other, and this effect is maintained without deterioration even when being placed under high temperatures for a long time. The automobile interior part is also superior in impact resistance and molded appearance.
